I!t 1 (Auther of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek." etc.) THE PULSE-POUNDING SAGA OF DE WITT CLINTON, AMERICAN Let us today turn our eager young minds to the in spiring story of De Witt Clinton, one of the greatest figures in American history and - unaccountably - one of the most neglected. fW SMOKE NAtMICW$ 1 gI11Lt #MISTE De Witt Clinton (sometimes called Aaron Burr) first made himself known to fame in 1756 when Governor William Penn commissioned him to survey the forests of the Western Reserve. (One is inclined to wonder wvhat in the world Governor Penn could have been thinking of, for De Witt Clinton was eighteen months old at the time.)' However, the little chap did remarkably wvell. He surveyed as far wvest as Spokane, teaching phonetic English to more than twelve million Indians along the way, and then, tired but happy, he became Johnny Appleseed. Later, he became a keelboat and sailed home to enter politics. He tried to join the Greenback Party, but his back wasn't green enough, so he joined the Whigs. He was offered the Whig nomination for the presi dency, but declined with the celebrated statement: "if nominated I will not run; if elected I will not serve." But the Whigs only nudged each other and said, "That old fox, he's just playing hard to get." So they nominated him anyhow, and sure enough he did not run, but he was elected anyhow, and sure enough he did not serve. In fact, he was elected to a second term, wvhich he also did 9 not serve. However, only a few top Whigs knewv there was nobody in the White House. The rest of the country thought that the President was confined to his room with a wrenched knee. For a while people sent "Get Well" cards, but soon everyone forgot and turned their atten tion to important matters like opening the west, inventing the buffalo, and the Black Tom Explosion. After two terms as President, De Witt Clinton entered Yale and took up smoking, lie tried several brands of cigarettes until he found the one brand that pleased him in every Particular-Philip Morris, of corris! (You knew'I was going to say that, didn't you? Well, of course you did, especially if you are a Philip Morris smoker, for if you are, you know what a sweetheart of a smoke Philip Morris is -- how full of rich, natural flavor, how natural and mellow, how long size and regular. And if you are not a Philip Morris smoker, you've got a treat coming. Light one soon. Light either end.) Upon graduation from Yale, De Witt Clinton became commissioner of baseball and smoked and loved Philip Morris Cigarettes for the rest of his long and distin guished life, and when at last he was called to his reward, his friend Old Hickory (Daniel Webster) stood up in the Senate and said, "How sad that De Witt Clinton must now be forever separated from his beloved Philip Morris !" toNhy ee" crIed Pitt, the Elder (Henry Clay), bounding tohi fet '"We need not separate Do Witt Clinton and Phlp Morris. I know how to keep them together always !" And, sure enough, if you will look at the blue federal tax stamp on your pack of Philip Morris, guess whose picture you'll see. Do Witt Olinton's! That's whose!
